THE BRIEF
Not quite turning
water into wine.
Fergie and RCA gave the Orb team (formerly Chimney) a nearly impossible task: clean up over 400 beauty VFX tracking shots — none originally intended for VFX — in just 10 days, with each shot requiring Fergie’s personal approval.
The Mr. Kiki team was brought in to 24/7 produce the project, manage VFX artist recruitment, and complete many of the shots directly. It wasn’t quite turning water into wine — but finishing the project to everyone’s satisfaction felt like a small miracle.

THE EXECUTION
24/7 Production &
VFX Artist Recruitment
The Mr. Kiki team operated around the clock — 24 hours a day for 10 consecutive days — producing the project end-to-end. This meant simultaneously recruiting and onboarding VFX artists at speed, managing the shot pipeline, maintaining the client approval loop with Fergie directly, and personally completing a significant volume of the shots.
Every decision was made under pressure. Every shot went back to Fergie for sign-off. And every single one was delivered on time.
